About this property

Douglas Lodge - a serene retreat in a peaceful Sandton suburb

Doulas Lodge is a serene thatched villa, in the peaceful Sandton suburb of Norscot, perfect for relaxation, amidst the excitement of Joburg life. The spacious property and prime location make it ideal for a family getaway, a gathering of friends or a corporate group alike.

The house itself is spacious and tastefully decorated. The lounge, with its high thatch ceilings, contains comfortable sofas, a smart TV complete with DSTV and Netflix and a cosy fireplace for the cooler winter nights. The lounge is adjoined by a large sunroom, with a dining table and further seating around another fireplace, which opens onto the pool-side garden. In the pool-side garden, there are sunbeds, a dartboard, a thatch lapa and a brick braai making it perfect for both relaxing and entertaining.

On the other side of the garden is a tennis court (rackets and balls provided), as well as a basketball hoop (ball provided) for the more energetic.

There are three double bedrooms which open out to the pool-side garden (one ensuite), with the large master bedroom on the other side of the property (ensuite with shower) containing a comfortable king-size bed, as well as bunk beds for children. Upstairs is a further twin bedroom (ensuite with bath). All bedrooms contain a kettle and complimentary tea and coffee.

The kitchen is well equipped, including a gas oven and stove, allowing you to continue cooking during load-shedding. The property also has an inverter powering the WiFi, TV and all the mains lights, making Douglas Lodge close to load-shedding proof.

Upstairs is a meeting room (with bathroom) containing a large conference desk and seating. A printer and projector can be provided upon request. The room also contains two sleeper couches which can be made up upon request, should further accommodation be required.

The property offers ample parking space for multiple vehicles.

Douglas Lodge is located in Norscot, a small residential suburb of Sandton, nestled between Fourways, Bryanston and Douglasdale. Douglasdale Village is a local shopping centre less than 5 minutes away by car, offering supermarkets, restaurants and more. The famous Montecasino complex is a 7-minute drive away, offering a variety of entertainment options, and Fourways Mall is just a little further away to satisfy all shopping needs.

Norscot is a safe and peaceful suburb and the property is located within a quiet gated community with 24/7 guards, within which there has been no crime for years. Douglas Lodge is also protected by an electric fence and alarm system linked to armed response units, offering complete peace of mind.

Douglas Lodge

Brian O.

Large roomy house with fantastic amenities- great value for our family get-together

Location was perfect for our requirements. Liked the ‘African’ theme very much. Swimming pool was great, and dining and living areas were comfortable and spacious. Good security system in place.

Dr Robert V L., Florida

The house was spectacular! There was far more space than we expected and it was charming!

The house and grounds were more like a small resort/lodge than a regular home. The bedrooms were more than ample and the living space was fabulous. Couple all of this with a beautiful swimming pool, tennis courts, and even a trampoline and you get the idea. We were lovingly cared for by Shoes: A terrific housekeeper who made sure our every need was met. This was a stunningly good stay in Johannesburg!
